Susquehanna Will Get Shot at Landmark Repeat

from press release

SELINSGROVE, Pa. – The No. 1 seed
Susquehanna men's lacrosse team is headed back to the Landmark
Conference championship game after defeating Drew 9-4 in Wednesday
afternoon's semifinal matchup. This marks the second-straight title
game appearance for the Crusaders.

Susquehanna will host No. 3 seed Goucher on Saturday at 5
p.m.

SU (10-7) held the Rangers (5-10) scoreless for two of the four
quarters while more than doubling up Drew in shots, 45-21. Pat
Brogan (Lancaster, Pa./Hempfield), Nick Citron (Chatham,
N.J./Chatham) and Austen Lein (New Vernon, N.J./Madison) all
finished with two goals and one assist. Crusader goalie Jared
Knowlton (North Salem, N.Y./Kent School) made six saves in his 60
minutes of work.

The game was tied at one after seven minutes of action before
the Crusaders went on a run of four unanswered goals that stretched
into the second and third quarters. Citron's goal with 3:17 left in
the second quarter put his team ahead 4-1 at the midway point of
the game.

Conor Boyland (Long Valley, N.J./West Morris Central) scored
SU's fourth-straight goal with 11:45 left in the third quarter for
a 5-1 game. Drew did score three of the final four goals of the
third quarter to trim the Crusaders' lead to two, 6-4, heading into
the final 15 minutes of play.

SU's defense blanked Drew for those final 15 minutes, though,
while adding three goals of its own from three different players.
J.B. Montane (Reisterstown, Md./Loyola) struck with 8:55 to play to
make it 9-4 and that remained the final score as Drew was shut
out.
